There are a lot of "oops" in the kitchen. D: I think this was my 3rd attempt at making a pretty dish for this particular recipe. I actually didn't end up eating this specific dish either, since I had to eat the other ones I messed up on first haha.

Shallots are smaller, more neutral flavoured onions essentially. They provide sweetness without overpowering a dish like a regular white/yellow onion will with their high sugar content.
Pancetta is Italian cured pork belly. Sorta like bacon but cured differently. Excellent flavour and a little adds so much depth to a dish.

ahh now to convince sombody who knows how to cook to make it for me.

Yep. :0 But this dish makes about 3 servings.
You can substitute bacon for pancetta.
Traditional pasta carbonara uses cured pork jowl meat (called guanciale); I have no idea where to get that, so I just used pancetta.

All bacon is cured Pork Belly im pretty sure. I cook a bunch too (casually) but this is Kierpanda's blog. I have a book on Charcuterie (art of curing/smoking meats) and they have pancetta/bacon from scratch recipes.
Pancetta often comes in sausage-like rolls, as the entire pork belly is rolled in a shape that resembles a cinnamon bun/roll. Also people rarely eat/cook "slices" of pancetta, more often than not it is diced and sauted to extract/absorb the flavour of the pork belly fat into the dish. Also makes for tasty bits of rendered pancetta that have a pleasant texture difference from the rest of the dish.
Just came back from the Butcher Shop in front of my apartment to cook some bacon after reading this blog. Smoked Quebec maple bacon nom nom nom

Yep. Pancetta is either sliced or diced; both are pretty common actually.
Also eeeh prefer the original version (but then again look at where i'm from >.<). The great thing about Carbonara (and tons of pasta really) is that it's really really simple.
Ah also, italians use pancetta too don't worry.
